Chapter 209 Mr. Turtle Is Flying?
Han Fei did find a nest for the Stone Spirit Turtle in a cave of coral. He had planned to fool the Stone Spirit Turtle into going to the Fire Cloud Cave. After all, that place was much remote, and nobody would disturb the turtle in the next thousand years.
However, the Stone Spirit Turtle stopped swimming and descended the moment it heard that the place was thousands of kilometers away. In the end, Han Fei finally managed to lead the turtle to the coral reefs.
In the cave, Han Fei asked, “Mr. Turtle, do you really not want to reconsider? It’s only ten thousand kilometers away. It won’t be good if you’re caught and end up as a contractual spiritual beast when you rest in here.”
The Stone Spirit Turtle, however, simply crouched and attracted the coral, stones, and seaweeds nearby to itself. Very soon, the turtle turned into a huge coral reef. The Stone Spirit Turtle said, “Human being, you can go now! I have to sleep.” Han Fei was lost for words. What an ungrateful turtle. Does our friendship mean nothing to you?
Zhang Xuanyu patted Han Fei’s shoulder and said, “Han Fei, let’s go! It probably won’t even remember you after it wakes up again.”
Xia Xiaochan remarked, “If only all the creatures in the ocean were as lazy as that turtle. In that case, we could catch them easily.”
Wenren Yu didn’t know how to comment on that. “Nice dream! The ocean is a place where the strong prey on the weak. The Stone Spirit Turtle is only an exception.”
Everybody returned to the surface of the ocean, which was now being savaged by storms and tides. But even so, Han Fei saw that plenty of boats were sailing to the Stone Forest. Le Renkuang sighed. “Fools! I wonder what they will feel when they learn that we ran into a Rock Holding Turtle.”
Now that the Rock Holding Turtle was mentioned, Wenren Yu suddenly asked, “What did you see on the tablet? The Rock Holding Turtle said that it was a gift. Did you get it?” Luo Xiaobai said excitedly, “I saw an enormous tree at the center of the ocean. It’s more than a million meters tall and covers hundreds of thousands of square kilometers.
“Huh?”
Everybody was stunned. How could a tree be so big?
Han Fei raised his eyebrow as his vision was different from hers. He saw someone hitting tides with a rod, but Xiaobai saw a tree? Xia Xiaochan said, “I saw a fish thousands of feet long. It was cruising among the clouds lonesomely.”
Wenren Yu furrowed her eyebrow. Was that the gift? I believe what Luo Xiaobai and Xia Xiaochan say, although it sounds rather surreal... How could a tree rise into the sky, and how could a fish be thousands of feet long?

Le Renkuang looked at Xia Xiaochan in shock. “Really? But what I saw was a sword move. I can’t describe it. It’s just a sword floating before my eyes. That’s all.”
SWO
Zhang Xuanyu gazed at everyone. “I didn’t see any of those things. I was washed over by tides in an ocean again and again, and I almost had a meltdown.”
Le Renkuang snorted. “Then you’re really poor. At the very least, the sword I saw didn’t attack me.”
Everybody looked at Han Fei, and Han Fei scratched his head. “I saw a man piercing through a tsunami with a rod.”
Han Fei felt that the picture was indescribable. It was not a simple stab. When the rod hit the tides and left a hollow in it, he was really amazed, but he couldn’t quite describe it.
But of course, Han Fei decided to keep the God Scaring Painting to himself. After all, the Rock Holding Turtle had always been a legend, and nobody could’ve seen this painting.
Wenren Yu grew suspicious about their description, wondering if they were only bragging and they had exaggerated the stuff that they had seen.
She said solemnly, “Whatever you’ve obtained from the Rock Holding Turtle, just keep it to yourself, or other people may try to take it from you. I’m sure you understand that.”
Luo Xiaobai nodded. “Got it, Master.”
Wenren Yu said, “Spiritual energy was gathered here when the Rock Holding Turtle emerged. Everybody believes that unusual treasures have emerged. You’ll stay here until Xiaobai and Le Renkuang grasp their spiritual senses.”
Everybody accepted the task.
Wenren Yu left. She hated the trouble-making students most.
After Wenren Yu left, the rest of them looked at each other.
Le Renkuang asked, “Well, should we start practicing?”
Xia Xiaochan said, “We can communicate with one another somewhere else. This place is too stormy.”
Three days had passed.
None of the treasure hunters got what they aimed for, but they did find something. The courageous ones among them found that the Stone Forest was gone when they dove into the ocean.
Everybody was shocked to know that. Instead of telling this to the public, they all searched for treasures in the debris of the Stone Forest.
In the end, some captured a few Stone Spirit Crabs, some dug a few stones, and some picked up ragged weapons from the remains. After all, no matter how ragged the weapons were, they could still be sold for money since they were from the Stone Forest.
As the incident was leaked out, all kinds of rumors were spreading. So, most great fishing masters in the Blue Sea Town were attracted. Hundreds of thousands of people were gathered in the level-two fishery.
At this point, Han Fei and his team were having hotpot on the deck, when Luo Xiaobai said, “I think I’m making progress, but I may need my vines. I regarded my hook as my vine, and I vaguely sensed something near the hook, but it was still fuzzy.”
Xia Xiaochan was confused. “You can control the seaweed, can’t you? That’s vision too.”
Luo Xiaobai shook her head. “That’s different. I can control the seaweed within a thousand meters, but not those a thousand kilometers away.”
Han Fei suggested, “What about binding a part of your vines to your hook? Can you sense the hook by doing that?”
Luo Xiaobai shook her head again. “Yes and no. I can’t sense anything if it’s too far away. So, it’s about fishing all over again.”
Le Renkuang was eager to pick up spiritual senses, but Le Renkuang wasn’t. His mouth full of meat, he murmured, “I vaguely saw something too, but I didn’t practice. When I fished, I remembered the sword I saw on the tablet, and then I detected the things near the hook.”
“Huh?”
Everybody looked at Le Renkuang. They had found their visions to be useless.
They thought that the amazing lives they saw did exist in the boundless ocean and that they just happened to see those lives.
Le Renkuang bit a part of the squid fish off and said, “I kept thinking about that sword, and then controlling the fishing pole became easy for me. Sometimes, I felt that casting the hook was like casting the sword... Why don’t you try casting a tree?”
Zhang Xuanyu was lost for words. “Yours was a sword, but Xiaobai saw a gigantic tree. You really think it’s something you can throw?”
Han Fei pulled Zhang Xuanyu back. “Hey, even if you can’t throw it, you can still think about it. Didn’t you hear that he could sense the things near the hook just by thinking about the sword?” Luo Xiaobai’s eyes glittered. That’s right. Was what she saw on the tablet meaningless? If it was, would it really count as a gift?
In fact, not just Le Renkuang, Han Fei had been thinking about the astonishing stab and the God Scaring Painting during his fishing too. He did feel that he was particularly energetic when he thought about those things.

At this point, Han Fei saw six boats flying in the sky dragging a huge turtle behind them.
The meat in Le Renkuang’s mouth dropped off. He asked in shock, “Isn’t that... Mr. Turtle?”
Zhang Xuanyu’s eyes bulged. “It really is. Was Mr. Turtle found?”
Xia Xiaochan said anxiously, “That’s outrageous! Mr. Turtle was only sleeping. Those people can’t let go of an old turtle?”
Han Fei declared angrily, “Damn it! We can’t let them take Mr. Turtle away, or Mr. Turtle will definitely be killed! Let’s ascend and chase them!”
